If you're a grower, exporter, or co-op just starting to use AgriDAO, you've probably seen terms like USDT, cUSD, or UXD pop up in your dashboard. You may also have noticed a small “network fee” attached to each transaction.

Let’s break it all down—without any crypto jargon—so you can trade confidently.

What Are You Really Paying?

When you list or accept a trade on AgriDAO, payments move through the Solana blockchain, a fast digital network that processes transactions securely—without banks, middlemen, or wire transfers.

The fees you see aren't hidden platform charges. They’re called "gas fees", and they go directly to the network to record your transaction.

In short:

• No bank fees.
• No percent-based commissions.
• Just pennies per trade.

What About Price Fluctuations?

You may also wonder if these stablecoins—USDT, cUSD, UXD—will lose value like normal cryptocurrencies.

Here’s the difference, these coins are designed to stay stable around $1.00 USD. Historically those crypto have maintain their value over a 120 days period within a 1–2% range, meaning your $5,000 avocado order today is still worth $5,000 tomorrow when escrow settles.

No guessing. No volatility. Just stable, fast settlement.

Is There a Catch?

We get it. Many farmers assume there's a trick. With wire transfers, there usually is. But on AgriDAO, you only pay network gas fees.

• No hidden markup.
• No chargebacks.
• No delays.

Do Frequent Traders Get Rewards?

Yes. If you’re a verified seller or buyer who uses the platform regularly, you’ll see gas fee rebates and discounts on dispute resolution fees.

We also offer:

• Faster listing verification
• Priority visibility for high-trust traders
• DAO incentives for contributing to fair governance

Our goal is to keep farmers in control—not buried in fees.

Bottom Line
